I only had a look at the subtitles.astd.
Starting at 0x28 there is a table of offsets to the actual textdata.
Code: Select all
little endian, one row = 8bytes:
4bytes: unknown (some kind of id)
4bytes: offset to the text
I had a look at the global.fchunk too. Here is what I found out:
Little endian. Starting at 0x3080 comes a table with 8 bytes each row. The first 4 bytes are telling the offset (relative, starting at 0xBDD0) for a textchunk the other 4 bytes are unknown to me. After every textchunk the next one starts so you if you have the offset 0x0A and the next text comes at 0x16 the size of the textchunk is the difference between the two offsets.
Its not much but I wanted you to know.

All the vehicles are in dngvehicles.sp, so it does worth more to unpack as it even has dds textures and the models.
Header is 'CHNK'.

What i'm concerned with is car spawning. I want to make all cars spawn in the traffic. I'll assume the file that controls what vehicles spawn in what chapter is inside the dngvehicles.sp file.

I really hope that someone will create a packer\unpacker for these files.

There doesn't seem to be much looking at this from the pros, so I guess it's up to us noobs
I've just been looking at dngvehicles.sp. These are my noobish observations using a hex editor:
-It's not encrypted (?)
-The end of file has filenames and directories eg
Code: Select all
R:\Resources\Vehicles\Vehicles\Chevrolet_Box_Van_1989_Ambulance\Model\Chevrolet_Box_Van_1989_Ambulance.gck.rimodel 17/06/11 10:59:16.104
-There is some useless data? eg blocks of "3E" (hex) = ">" ansi
-Dragon Unpacker can read and unpack the .dds files just fine in HyperRipper mode so there's a big clue!
I'll add more clues as I go thru it more
I'm really interested in scoring the cars out

Looks like we need some plugin or script to import .gck models

Using Game Extractor I extracted a bunch of .VEHC files and a few other files (.SSIC, .DMWK and .BINF) .BINF is clear text resource directory.
No idea if this helps I have no clue what I am doing, lol
Here is a sample of the .VEHC and other files.

Really need more tool makers looking into this. I want to import my own cars. not just export.

1989 Chevrolet Box Van ambulance? There isn't even such a vehicle in DSF. Obvious beta vehicle.
